John Parker Motor
« on: August 18, 2023, 07:02:55 PM »
I'm interested in any information on what John Parker did to the motors he rebuilt and more so on what he did to his own kaiser he had. I remember meeting him and his kaiser about 1976. He rebuilt my motor and trans, new clutch in 1976. It ran outstanding !!

Thanks, Wil in Whittier #9743

Yes I live by there.
I would like to know where that car is. I looked for it years ago but no luck. The VIN FM13657
But I'm also interested how he got that car of his to run like that! I'm working on a 49 Frazer now and would like better performance... A John Parker Hot Rod Motor! LOL

The serial number on the registration was either the engine number or a state assigned number as it doesn't correspond with the known manufacture number sequence.

True for California. When searching Dragon I was lucky to Have California Registration. Club Dragon List was Vin.
So Found It with Our Original with Our Great  Club in 7 Mo. not knowing Whereabouts for 15 Years in late 70

Who has John Parker's Kaiser now? I think I've seen it at a meet some years ago.
It had the Edmund's 2 carbs, I think, when John had it.

PS. I remember going to John's place in Fullerton and needed a part. He sold me the part and let me use his shop to install it and then he went to lunch with another KF member and said not to sell the place too cheap. Good Times!

I believe Blast Away, John's 48 Kaiser equipped with his updates, is in southern California.
